#Oil and #Gas News- FOOTHILLS EXPLORATION INC. (OTCQB: $FTXP) ANNOUNCES MOU TO ACQUIRE ~16,387 NET ACRES IN WYOMING’S WIND RIVER BASIN
LOS ANGELES, March 26, 2019 – Foothills
Exploration, Inc. (OTCQB:
FTXP) (the “Company,”
or “Foothills”), an independent oil and gas exploration company engaged in the
acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties in the Rockies today
announced that it has executed a memorandum of understanding for the
acquisition of approximately 16,387 net acres of undeveloped oil and gas leases
in the Wind River Basin in Wyoming.
"We look forward to closing on our
second transaction this year, which following acquisition will complement our
existing portfolio," stated Kevin Sylla, Executive Chairman of
Foothills." “This intended acquisition
will add to our exploration inventory and provide us with prized high impact
drilling projects for the future. The
near-term focus is on the geological and geographical delineation of this large
continuous position.”
The Wind River Basin contains over 60
large oil and gas fields producing from 17 different geological formations. The
leases are located in Fremont County, Wyoming. The Paleozoic aged section is the primary
objective, and the Phosphoria, Tensleep, Madison and Flathead Formations of the
Paleozoic have yielded significant oil production in a number of regional
fields down dip to the west, updip to the south and along structural trends
farther to the west-northwest.
Foothills’ acreage is located in this
large undrilled area and is along the eastern flank of a deeper sub basin in
the Wind River Basin proper, where a deep structural deposit called the Beaver
Creek field has produced approximately 71.7 million barrels of oil and
906,473,338 MCF of gas. The Big Sand
Draw field, updip to the south, has produced some 60.8 million barrels of oil
and 214,923,203 MCF of gas from multi-pay horizons generally in the Frontier,
Muddy, Lakota, Morrison, Phosphoria, Tensleep and Madison formations.
We currently expect this transaction to
close on or about March 28, 2019, subject to the completion of the Company’s
due diligence.
